According TO nur dispatches the com
missioner Of the general land office has
issued an important order relating to
desert lands 1t is ola piece with the
policy Of tln land office, being restrictive
in its character. Much, of trIursr,. will
depend upon the execution of the order.
If construed strictly it will lie a hard
ship. According to it. we Are told. lands
bordering upon any body of natural wa
ter are not subject tn entry as desert
land. IF an order worled to that elect
be enforced to mean that II section of
land (GiO acres being the limit of desert
entry fronting upon any stream shall
not be considered desert land it is a
partial suspension Of the law, in its ef-
feet. In many places land ten rods Or
even less from the heaviest streams in
| Montana are actually desert in character
under the intent of the desert land law.
The narrow fines of trees and brush
along Montana streams mark the limit
Of soil that will grow cultivated crops
without irrigation. Hay may grow
without irrigation in many places, but
only under the most favorable conditions
of weather. We have heard of a land
officer this year recommending for can
collation. certain desert land entries be-
cause he found on them gr,ss M to his
knees that had grown without irriga.
ton, The chances arc that last year on
q whole section Of that snme land there
did not grow enough r,ass to feed o
steer a month. The desert act. like
every other land law m the statute
books, has been abused and made an
engine by means of which men and
corporations gobbled up large bodies of
land by force of fraud and without suf-
dclent improvement: But in Montana
at least, the instances where land carry.
ing sufficient moisture to render irriga-
tion unnecessary have been obtained
under tho desert act are few and far be-
tweeg. We take the broad ground that
the man who must needs cultivate both
water and soil to wrest from them n liv-
ing should be treated literally. That is
the situation with almost every farmer
in Montana and any regulation that will
embarrlss his holdings, obtained honest
ly, is an oppression. If Gen. Sparks
could have traversed Prickly Pear val
ley last summer, seen the crops parcl,ing
beneath a burning sun, every natural
drained of its water and the
farmers lighting in courts and in hand to
hand encounters for a few inches of
to insure them a wintor's sus.
he would have come to the con-
that there is little or no land in
Montana that is not subject to desert
And that is the situation. It is
proper that every safeguard be employed
10 prevent the use of fraud in obtaining
public lands, but Mt the same time the
honest settler who has taken up his
or his desert entry, or both,
should DO protected and encouraged; for
with all the land he can honestly obtain
the government and all the water
he tan gather from the clouds or the
nearest stream, he has a hard ~time.-In-
